fireman, and accompanied by the brave
firemen with white and colored lights in

VIII Soon Close.

The public schools close on Thursday
and the teachers and children are not
sorry. Already the pupils are becoming
restless. Examinations are over, and in
two short days books will be laid aside
and farewells will be said to the lessons
and school-rooms for two months, and
perhaps, with some, forever New faces
will next year take the place of familiar
ones. while many of the older scholars
will leave for other and higher fields of
learning that we regret to say is not
given to the girls of our town. There
will be no public exercises at the close of
the public schools, as the seating capacity
does not permit others than the school
children.
